How do I remove Cloudflare from my MacBook and my iPhone

I have Cloudflare on my computer showing up and I NEVER signed up for it... I too would like to know how to get rid of it. All of the sudden everytime I try to enter a website, before it loads, it makes me to a captcha. I never signed up for cloudflare. even thought maybe I did and didn't realize it... so I go to their website, and they don't have my email address.. so it is some kind of hijack or virus

Well, yes, actually I did, and I actually stated so in my previous post. I am very computer savvy, but this one was throwing me for a loop, hence me searching the internet and this forum. But everything worked out, and is OK, I contacted Apple Support and they were able to help me without being condescending. I am now cloudflare free, and they confirmed that it was malware. Have a blessed day. :)

There is nothing that Apple did that I am aware of and it is not affecting any of my Apple devices.

The following previous discussion (from 2014) has a suggestion that worked for someone else: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6488567

This is THEE most annoying feature ever shoved onto us. Seriously Apple??

Cloudflare is a service you signup for and add to your website. It's not owned by Apple.

Not sure why you're asking Apple users about this...

To remove a site, click on the Add a Site option on the menu bar on your Cloudflare account. Then click on the “x” icon next to the website you want to remove from CloudFlare’s service....

Hey there!

I know CloudFlare provides VPN software, (Virtual Private Network), for most devices including iOS, (One, for example would be 1.1.1.1), Mac and others, including for enterprise use, and many use their public DNS settings as well.

If you look in your Settings on your iOS device, do you see it there?

Settings > VPN.

In either case, I’d check Settings > General > VPN, and remove/delete any VPN software you don’t want or need anymore.

On your Mac, check System Preferences > Network.

On the left column, you’ll see your network interfaces, if you see anything related to CloudFlare or VPN, etc. highlight it and press the “-“ below to remove it, then I’d utilize any uninstallation software that they may provide.

Likewise, this issue with having to enter in a captcha at any and every Google web search or YouTube search, (Not posted by you but by @runtrble, is an issue affecting many people right now, I believe mostly with AT&T and Cloudflare servers, see if you can use a different network to bypass that, if so, I’d try the steps I mentioned above.

Hope that helps!

rude.. sorry, but you were.

That’s the website you are trying to access. It isn’t on your Mac.

Did you even bother to search the Internet for information about Cloudflare?

Apple does not use Cloudflare.

And does not shove it onto you.

You might want to give some more info about what is going on if you want help.
